Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

~ Grab your current read

~ Open to a random page

~ Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

~ BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (Make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)

~ Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

This teaser comes from "Red: My Uncensored Like in Rock" by Sammy Hagar. Sammy Hagar rose to fame in the 70s with the band Montrose before becoming Van Halen's frontman (after David Lee Roth left). In his autobiography he details his childhood with great candour:

"We never owned a house, and we were always leaving my dad because he was a terrible alcoholic, who beat up my mom. When my dad would come home drunk, we'd sneak out of the house in the middle of the night and go sleep in the orange groves."
